Inside this elegant, horse-drawn establishment, a feathery cook works the grill, serving up tasty dishes for shift-workers and operagoers alike: a mince pie for Fox, a ham sandwich for Badger and puddings for little Possums. Mouse, a poor street sweeper, watches as the line of customers swells, ever hopeful that someone will drop a morsel of food -- but Owl's cooking is far too delicious for more than a crumb to be found. As the evening's service winds down, weary Owl spots trembling Mouse. Has he found his own night lunch, or will he invite this small sweeper inside for a midnight feast for two? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFrom the imagination of two acclaimed picture book creators, together for the first time, this dreamlike picture book is a magical ode to Victorian lunch wagons. Evoking the sounds, sights, smells and tastes of the city at night, \u003ci\u003eNight Lunch\u003c\/i\u003e reveals how empathy and kindness as well as dignity and gratitude can be found -- and savored -- in the most unexpected places.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eERIC FAN\u003c\/b\u003e is one of the internationally renowned Fan Brothers whose picture books include \u003ci\u003eThe Barnabus Project\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Night Gardener\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eOcean Meets Sky\u003c\/i\u003e.
